Join physicist James Ellias for a discussion of philosophical issues surrounding quantum mechanics and Einstein’s relativity theory.
Topics of discussion will include:
1. Do quantum phenomena give evidence that reality is subjective or non-causal?
2. How did philosophy affect the way modern physics was formulated?
3. How do contemporary physicists think about quantum phenomena and gravity?
4. How changing our metaphysical and epistemological assumptions can shed light on modern physics?
The meeting will be co-hosted by Epagogist.
